Team famous for losing finds new crushing way to lose

@jasonwall @MCFC__Latino @TheZweli While yes I agree that it being America doing it adds to people not liking it,I’m not saying it’s not allowed. I just think it’s poor taste that it hasn’t been done in the past and doing it here. If they wanted to do that, for the final, CAN,USA,MX anthems should be played

@AlexxGale @MCFC__Latino @TheZweli Just because they didn't, doesn't mean it's "not allowed." It's just because it's America that people have a problem with our "culture"

Forgive my ignorance, but is it normal to sing the anthem of a team not in the final?? Or is it America being annoying again?

@jasonwall @MCFC__Latino @TheZweli They’re not the same though. Your country is not the only country a) to have freedom b) to have troops Qatar in 22 didn’t, Russia in 18 didn’t, Brazil In 14 neither. Save me the in America this is how we do it bravado

It is apples to apples - When an athletic event is happening our soil, we play our anthem to honor our troops who are protecting our freedoms (and ability to host events like this). We've been doing it since World War 1 and World War 2. We then also play the anthems of whatever other countries happen to be playing in that event, out of respect. In my example, it's the team we're playing against. In your example, it's the two teams playing the match.

@jasonwall @MCFC__Latino @TheZweli Jason read what you said and see if that is the same as what’s happening at the final game? “What I will say is, every hockey game I’ve been to, we also play the Canadian national anthem when we play a Canadian team, out of respect to them” This is not apples to apples

Well the last Olympics here was 96 and 2002 (I think), and I was 9 and 15, so I’m not going to pretend to remember if we played our national anthem or not. What I will say is, every hockey game I’ve been to, we also play the Canadian national anthem when we play a Canadian team, out of respect to them. Quick question for you - why is it that you still have a King and royal family in the UK that attend international events, when they are largely figure heads? Is that tradition?

John Schneider is a fucking scumbag and I hope the Blue Jays never find success ever in their pathetic franchise’s existence

@ReceiptsNotSpin @Sponge75303 @BBCSport It’s a historic first because it’s the first time historically it has happened you fucking muppet. Regardless of changing the rules. This isn’t “engagement bait” so you can go back to being dormant in your hole. It’s literally the first time.

@Sponge75303 @BBCSport yeah and tennis doesn’t act like a mathematically engineered bracket playing out exactly as designed is some magical "historic first". they just call it a semi final.

The top four teams in the world rankings have made the World Cup semi-finals for the first time. Fifa introduced a new draw format for this tournament to ensure the four top seeds wouldn't meet until this stage, if they all won their groups.

Yooo fam the Trojans are moving dess tryna cop Menelaus' wifey, mans is cheesed getting rinsed like that "two twos crodie you know i gave those trojans a rude defaz with them pony tingz" Nyeaah eh "ahlie crodie you know i rate that shorty Helen she got that bare gyatt"

@mofrymatic @mclovenxoxo @StatenMusic @bethfiguls @bryan_johnson You have no ability to look for yourself

@mclovenxoxo @StatenMusic @bethfiguls @bryan_johnson So multimillionaire building a company around this is being reduced into “her boyfriend” in this scenario. K.

🚨Kate officially diagnosed with endometriosis > done without surgery > across three modalities: imaging, blood, and AI > all non-invasive > in 42 days For context, average time to diagnosis is 6.6 years. And, we found 2 other diagnoses at the same time. Over the past 6 weeks, we’ve sprinted to confirm or deny Kate’s suspected endometriosis. Endo is notoriously challenging to diagnose. It’s one of the most gnarly diseases and affects 15% of women. Men, to get you on the same page, having endo is akin to an alien growing in your guts and balls, self replicating, and glueing everything together. Causing you constant pain and discomfort. We got to work. > got an MRI > got a transvaginal ultrasound > both results came back negative At this point, Kate’s patient journey had followed the archetype precisely. Most women don’t get diagnosed for 7-10 years. For Kate, it’s been 7 years. And, like most women, her imaging came back clear even though now we know that she has endo. This is why diagnosis has traditionally happened via surgery. There has been no other way than to open her up and look inside. We wanted to avoid surgery so we went back to the drawing board. We searched the world over. On our second go, we did: > endo-specific ultrasound > an endo blood test > AI MRI > saliva test This was successful. We were able to confirm her endo via ultrasound, blood test, and MRI. Confirmed simultaneously by three unique modalities, as far as we know, a world-first approach. The extensive measurement allowed us to find additional things. Her ultrasound showed: > endometriosis > PMOS (formerly PCOS) (needs confirmation) > adenomyosis 30-40% of women have at least one of these conditions. That’s intimidating especially when the path to diagnosis is fraught with so many challenges. Phase I was getting a diagnosis. Phase II is curing endometriosis. We’ve already started working. If you’re a female with suspected endo, here’s what you can do to accelerate your diagnosis. — 1. Endo-Specific Ultrasound You want an endo-specific ultrasound. As we saw with Kate, a standard pelvic/transvaginal ultrasound failed to identify her endo. You want the ultrasound to be performed by a physician or sonographer specifically trained. They follow a special protocol to hunt for endometriosis by mapping the ovaries and uterus, and testing whether organs can slide freely, or are tethered by endometriosis lesions. It’s best timed just after ovulation, when a small amount of peritoneal fluid aids visualization. It can detect superficial endometriosis, lesions, and adenomyosis that general imaging misses. We went to Dr. Kacey Hamilton at Cedar Sinai. 2. AI MRI / MatricesAI Radiologists miss lesions in up to 60% of cases. We worked with @MatricesAI which leverages AI and a unique dataset to detect endometriosis lesions on pelvic MRI. This model is still new, its first pilot study with 200 participants began in April this year. Here is how you can work with them: They’re opening their diagnosis program at the Geneviève Institute to give early access to their AI model in a clinical trial. They will take you through a state-of-the-art clinical intake questionnaire. Help you advocate for your symptoms with your gynecologist, based on your intake or connect you to a new center where their AI is being piloted and the clinical trial conducted. 3. Blood test / HerResolve Kate had two small tubes of blood drawn for a test built by @Heranovalifesci. The test measures seven biological markers (three microRNAs, three proteins, and one hormone) and uses an AI model to help detect endo. It was highly accurate in its validation study at confirming endo and caught most cases that ultrasound and MRI had missed. Their technology has been validated in a peer reviewed study (298 women, 11 sites across US/Europe/Hong Kong, published in the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology): specificity 97.5%, sensitivity 80%, with strong diagnostic performance (94.4%), demonstrating it was highly effective at distinguishing women with endometriosis from those without the disease. A positive result is a strong signal, since only 2.5% of women without endometriosis test positive, though final confirmation is still clinical. A negative is less conclusive, because the test misses about 20% of true cases. The test identified 61.5% of histologically confirmed cases that transvaginal ultrasound and/or MRI missed. # We did one more saliva based test and will report back on that when results are returned.

@gosens1165 @NoContextCanMNT Yeah and so it the final score so let’s just get rid of it mate 👍

@AlexxGale @NoContextCanMNT They are used in betting odds

@gosens1165 @NoContextCanMNT These aren’t betting odds

@NoContextCanMNT I hate how betting/gambling is ruining everything.

#7 FOREVER

Welcome home 7 🤝

@aoshow33 @ZackC428 @VanLathan Normally you’re born into it :) just enjoy next season!

@ZackC428 @VanLathan I’ve been trying to learn more and was gonna ask how did yall choose y’all’s teams but this way makes sense.

I might want to be down with Man City. I might’ve chosen too fast with Arsenal. This is hilarious

A tie that had absolutely everything. A win that means absolutely everything. WE ARE WORLD CUP QUARTER-FINALISTS! 🏆

Anything to get #CANMNT across the line

@MaxRubin20 @BallCheck @kylekuzma The “story” is who cares that he’s getting squeezed if however you split it he’s making either more or comparable earnings in a significantly shorter and less great career to MJ. he’s clearly in a good place!

@BallCheck @kylekuzma Yeah the salary cap has increased exponentially since then, along with inflation. It’s really one of the least confusing aspects surrounding NBA money

After sitting here watching NBA free agency this year and overall NBA movement over the past 2 years somebody has to say it.... The new CBA was sold as parity, but the first and second apron are starting to function like a hard cap on player value, team continuity, and player movement. Teams are no longer making purely basketball decisions. They’re making fear-based apron decisions. That means good players get squeezed, homegrown cores get broken up, fan-favorite teams lose their identity, and the overall product loses some of the nostalgia and continuity that made people fall in love with the NBA in the first place. This isn’t about players not understanding business. It’s the opposite. We understand that the NBA is a business. That’s why the @TheNBPA has to operate with elite business acumen, elite negotiating strategy, and real foresight. The owners and the league walk into these meetings with killers that continue to run circles around us time and time again with elite lawyers, economists, cap experts, media strategists, and long term business operators. Players deserve a PA that is just as sharp, just as prepared, and just as aggressive about protecting our upside. Too often, it feels like players are informed after the fact instead of being truly educated and empowered before decisions are made. That cannot continue. The next CBA is a do or die moment for us as players. It's only going to get worse for us. We need transparency, accountability, and a serious re evaluation of who is representing us and how they are representing us. This is not anti parity. This is pro player, fan, and product. The league is strongest when players are valued properly, great teams can stay together, and the people representing us are operating at the same level as the people sitting across the table.

@Niflettelevrai @Footballtweet

@Footballtweet I'm glad they disallowed it because the game was over lol

The Croatia disallowed goal 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗: This is the only image that matters. The snicko technology goes off at the exact moment Matanović heads the ball. So the Croatian player DID touch it, and Mario Pašalić was OFFSIDE. 🇭🇷🚩 It was the correct call.

This is what it means. Got the job done. See you in Mexico. 🦁🦁🦁

Because maybe, you’re going to be the one that saves me.

WELCOME HOME, DEMON HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
